@@Skagb0yyeah but Ronnie fuckin sucks ass. I would rather fail than get indebted to that fuckin cry baby who complains when no one likes their music made for 14 year old emos.
"Just pay it forward" Everytime Ive ever done something nice like that for someone I say the same thing. Its how you give the gift that keeps on giving.
I went to Sound of Madness tour in Orlando FL and stood in line to have my cd signed. I asked Brent about Crow and the Butterfly. My brother died in a plane crash and my mother was a dark haired woman stuck in that same grief depicted in his video. I asked Brent about his dream. He signed my CD. I walked away. He called me back and he gave me a hug that to his day I swear to God keeps me alive. I swear on everything this man's hug and the hugs from every single band member keep me alive today. I sing their songs all the time. I mimic his voice. I loved spiritbox... but now knowing he breathed life into them the way he did me I feel this weird bond with the bands now. I am stunned and shocked and crying happy tears. Thank you Brent. Thank you thank you thank you. I still remember the sincerity in his hug. It was a real human hug and I hadn't had one like that since my brother had died. He saved my life and he didn't understand what that hug meant---- maybe he did because he called me back and just squeezed me back to life. I am so glad I found this reel. Brent is an angel. A literal angel. Thank you so much sir. Much love from Florida. Shinedown and Lynard Skynard was played at his funeral. What a Strange World. ♡
Amazing 🤩 Shinedown are really cool dudes and I'm sorry for your loss... I've lost my mom three years ago, I'm still not over it, but I'll try my best to keep pushing through and music keeps me alive ❤ Greetings from Germany 🤗
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing this with us. I had goosebumps while reading this. I truly believe music can save us, make us better, and help us feel connected as human beings. Stories like yours form the pillars to the temple of this belief. Take care.
Well thank you shine down honestly Spiritbox is not only unique but it’s nice to have another female represent women in the space but also the music is soooooooooooooooo multidimensional like y’all deserve Grammys and a spot in rock hall of fame
Met Brent from Shinedown at a radio show in Baltimore way back when Shinedown was first breaking The Thrash at Rash. Not shocked at all that he would do something like that he was one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met, always been happy to see their success and happy they helped out such a great band like Spiritbox
that f-in guy....he is a savior, leads with spirit, praise the rock and metal gods for brent smith!!! and wonderful eye to help out spiritbox. truly amazing artists!
That’s awesome! I thought they a slightly odd couple as touring companions, on paper, that actually worked really well, but it’s cool to know that there’s actually more to how these bands are connected. I like both groups, and I can’t thank Shinedown enough for their role in getting Spiritbox off the ground. Who knows if they’d even be around if not for that hand up at a critical time?
That's good people right there! Shout out to Brent and thank you for helping this band stay alive cause Spiritbox are no doubt one of my favorite bands now. Also remember seeing Shinedown at the Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2009 I think, around the time their The Sound Of Madness album came out, and Shinedown was fucking amazing! They killed it! I remember I was so fucking high that night(that's when I was struggling with IT), and that was one of the best shows I can remember going to. If I remember correctly they played with Saving Able and Buckcherry and each band put on one hell of a show! Avenged Sevenfold were supposed to be there but they had to cancel(pretty sure he had to have surgery on his vocal chords then).
My wife and I saw your concert in Gilford, NH and it was awesome. It was our 3rd time seeing Shinedown and our first seeing Papa Roach and Spiritbox. Such an amazing show. This is an amazing story. We already though that was Shinedown was a great group of people, and to hear this story just reinforces that thought. Such a great gesture to help out a new band. If one band succeeds, in the long run, all bands succeed because it only brings more fans to all.
So amazing 😍🤩 Thanks to Shinedown for helping them out, I love Spiritbox, they're one of the most talented bands now!! I can only imagine how expensive it is, especially when you have a whole tour cancelled
I absolutely love this! 🖤 I saw Shinedown with papa roach and Spiritbox in SA, Tx, they all put on an amazing show. Papa Roach and Shinedown brought tears to my eyes because I never thought I would be where I am today. I couldn’t have made it as far as I have without them. Now my son, sings Shinedown and has a beautiful voice, and gives me chills when I hear him. Spiritbox has been a huge influence on my musical career, I love their style and songs, and I hope to one day produce music similar to all three bands and inspire others the way they have inspired me. 🤘🏽 Thank you Shinedown, you guys are what we need more of in this world. Thank you Papa Roach for spreading the word on mental health issues and lighting up the darkness. Thank you Spiritbox, for the inspiration and sharing your amazing vocals and music with the world. 🤘🏽🤘🏽 #LeaveALightOn 🔥
Apart from him being a real metal pal, he knew like we all did before they became Big, that Spiritbox was destined to explode worldwide. The same feeling I had with Jinjer before they gave them the Visa to enter the states. I felt it in my guts that both bands just needed THE break they each deserved
All the bands here are next level humans. I’ve met people in each and they practice the humbleness and positivity they speak. Never change kings and queens!
Brent Smith is still releasing new music, sick music btw, if you're 30, and as a spirit box fan I will always respect Brent for being a solid fkn musician. He saw talent, invested, and it worked out. Respect.
I went to that tour in Europe. They were opening for After the Burial, many people were unsure whether they should still go to such events, and it was the last concert I went to before the first lockdown and for two years to come. It was a show for the books though.
It’s wild that one of the sorta more conservative tagged bands helped nail out and promote one of the most progressive voices in the scene. Just goes to show at the end of the day all just people

Yes, while governments, the protectors of humanity! Did everything to destroy them financially. Crazy times.
This is pretty metal. Look out for the homies!
I agree ☝🏼
Trying Down are my favourite band!
Yeah, love their song De Bauer. (Funny thing is if you turn on captions, it gets Shinedown correct.)
honestly, it’s a superior name 😂

Holy shit, dude. I'm happy you are still here.
This is honestly amazing. Brent always looked like a warm hearted guy. Thank you, Brent.
The guys from Shinedown are amazing ppl ..
They didnt even invest ,they literally gave that money to them no strings attached .
You know them personally?
This all makes sense now why they toured with shinedown. I thought it was weird having those two bands together. Went to the show and loved it!
Yea everyone did a great job. I didn't come for Shinedown myself, but I have to give them credit. Papa Roach really put on a great show too.
Was a wierd lineup but one of the best,shows of my life in ABQ new mexico
im not a fan of shinedown but what they did is super respectul
Same, i just gained a ton of love for them
Yeah as a kid I loved shone down but kinda grew out of it. But this was love. Awesome to hear
Hate their music, but this was pretty cool of them.
Shinedown is a pretty good band, they're an older band, but they're legit
Their first 2-3 albums are bangers 2003-2006
That is a beautiful story, I have chills. THIS is how people should treat each other.
Fully agree. Love to see it ♥️

Always been a fan of shinedown. Seen them quite a few times when they would play at our state fair. Great times.
Two of my favorite bands...
Can't name one shinedown song, now I need to listen to their music. That's so awesome of them.
You should check them out, they're amazing 🤩
You'd know some to hear it I bet
Shinedown’s “Leave A Whisper” Album is a solid place to start! Jam it!
@@adamchurch8244 Just started listing to that album. First song is "Fly From The Inside" and I'm loving it so far.

When I didn't think I could love Shinedown more, I see this?
Man, THANK YOU for saving them!
What a rad dude, wish more people with money were this way...

I’ve listen to Shinedown since I was a kid, Brent is one of the best people in the rock industry, it’s a good feeling seeing stuff like that happen
legend behavior
Also we came as romans didnt charge them for the lighting they rented after limp bizkit cancelled the tour a few shows in.
All the bands here are next level humans. I’ve met people in each and they practice the humbleness and positivity they speak. Never change kings and queens!
Just gained mad respect for the shinedown team.
Why i love both these bands...
love shinedown so much. they are stand up dudes. every show is amazing. they care about the metal community and it shows.
I take back anything I ever said about shinedown when I was younger lol, that's an incredible act and really inspiring
Saw these guys Friday night and they made the right decision 🔥
I have been a fan of Shinedown since I’ve been in high school. This is amazing. ❤
Love this band so I'm glad this worked out.
Thank you Brent. You rock my guy. You couldn't helped a better band. SpiritBox made a mark and they are walking away with the crown.
Brent Smith is still releasing new music, sick music btw, if you're 30, and as a spirit box fan I will always respect Brent for being a solid fkn musician. He saw talent, invested, and it worked out. Respect.
Brent,as well as the entire band are just great guys!!💜
That’s bad ass. Thank you Shinedown. ❤
He always seemed like a genuinely nice man
Thabk you for fronting them, allowing them to be heard.... ❤❤❤
That East Tennessee spirit. Brent still has it.
Shinedown played an acoustic set for fans at the Blue Ridge festival after it got cancelled too. Shinedown are truly a band of the people
That's awesome I love spirit box and always loved Brent and the band
So awesome! Can't wait to see who they pay it forward to in the future!
God she’s so beautiful ❤
Not a Shinedown fan personally but good on those guys for spreading the good word. Nothing against them just never caught my ear.
That’s awesome!! Hard work pays off eventually!!👍 I like Shinedown even more now!!
Shinedown really is shining down the light on newer bands’ dreams💕🫶☮️
I’ve spent thousands on Spiritbox merch, I’m helping too!
Same. And also sleep token and slaughter to prevail. Love these new bands.
Dang, I didn't know Brent rolled like that. Gives me a whole new level of appreciation for Shinedown haha ❤️
I went to that tour in Europe. They were opening for After the Burial, many people were unsure whether they should still go to such events, and it was the last concert I went to before the first lockdown and for two years to come. It was a show for the books though.
How amazing 🙌✨
They are precious. Love Shinedown
love shinedown n love spirixbox

Beautiful
Wow, mad respect to Brent.
Incredible!
Didn’t care much for Shinedown, but after learning this I’m putting mad respect on them.
I thought that Brent was a nice guy. This improves my idea of him. Huge human.
Trying down is sick live, saw them with my dad 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Shinedown!!!
Beautiful ❤
Hear you.
Trying down, such a great band
It’s wild that one of the sorta more conservative tagged bands helped nail out and promote one of the most progressive voices in the scene. Just goes to show at the end of the day all just people
Thank you Shinedown
Favorite Spiritbox song: Holly Roller, Constance, Jaded, Secret Garden
